Spanish term or phrase: Forestal, especialidad en Explotaciones Forestales
This is supposedly a degree title, like my other question, and is given in contrast to "Forestal, especialidad en Industrias Forestales". "Forestal" I was just going to translate as Forestry, and in the second case I think "Forestry Industry" or "Forest Industry" would work. For the former, does "Forest Management" work? If not, any other ideas would be welcome!

forest ranger, forest official, forester, woodsman


Explanation:
any of the above titles ought to do (whereby forest ranger is probably the one most used in the US). As to your "forrestry industry" (really a separate question by Proz rules) "forestry" alone would suffice or otherwhise you might like silviculture.

Forest Management


Explanation:
My husband has a degree in Forest Management. In Spanish it sounds like two things: 1. Forestal, 2. especialidad en Explotaciones Forestales, but in English they just call it "Forest Management".
